At least six people were shot in Pittsburgh while attending a funeral for a 20-year-old man who had recently been shot and killed, Police Commander Richard Ford said Friday afternoon. All six of the victims are in stable condition after the attack that Ford called a “targeted shooting.”
Just after 12 p.m. Friday, police received a ShotSpotter tip that five shots were fired in the area of the Destiny of Faith Church, Ford said. Another alert came in shortly after about an additional 15 shots fired.
Police responded to the church, where a funeral was ongoing for John Hornezes, who was one of the three killed in a shooting in the city on Oct. 15, according to CBS Pittsburgh.
